Disclosure: I don't own Harry Potter. That's all I have so, um… yah.

A/n: Wow, I've decided that doing this right the first time is a lot easier. Must remember that.

"This is going to be fun." She said, glancing over at the Marauders.

'This is going to be a long day, that's what.' Harry thought as Ginny lead him out of the Great Hall.

Chapter Seventh

"Where is Professor Porter?" Lily Evans asked Alice. Glancing around the classroom hoping that he would appear. The class was out of control. Every one was talking about the girl that had slapped their Professor. Who was she, and how did she know Porter?

"He probably is talking to Dumbledore. That would make the most sense after all, Porter was under a concealment charm." Alice said. Lily nodded her head in agreement. That was the other thing everyone was discussing; why had Porter hidden his real appearance, and why did he look so much like James Potter?

James Potter. He always seemed to be on Lily's mind lately, and it was driving her insane! It wasn't that she disliked James, quite the opposite in fact. Lily liked James very much, but before she was willing to give him a chance, he had to deflate his head and stop hexing others just for the fun of it. The loud voice of Sirius Black pulled Lily out of her thoughts.

"It wont take long before the 'Sirius charm' goes into action. You just watch; by the end of the week, that mysterious red head will mad about me." Sirius boasted.

"Don't flatter yourself Mr. Black." A voice said from the doorway. It was the red head and Porter. "The only man I'm interested in is my little Harry here." Harry rolled his eyes, and then ignoring Ginny, he turned to the class.

"Right, settle down every one. That does include you Black and Potter. Now, I'm sure you all have questions for me, and the do deserve answers. First let me introduce you to my friend. Her name is Ginny We… um… West. For the duration of her stay, I expect you lot to be polite to her, but ignore her when in my class."

"Hey!" Ginny snapped glaring at Harry. Harry continued to ignore her.

"Now, Who has the first question?" Lily hesitantly raised her hand. "Yes Miss. Evans?" he said, nodding his head in her direction.

"I was wondering Professor, why did you have a concealment charm on yourself?" at first Lily thought that he wouldn't answer. He stayed still, with a thoughtful expression on his face for quite a few minutes. But Porter finally started to speak.

"Well, I can't say to much, but the basic reason is that I am in hiding at the moment and it was important that I wasn't recognized, or found." He added, with a mock glare in Ginny's direction. She smiled at him innocently.

"Who are you hiding from? Why do you look so much like James? Why were you so scared when you saw Miss. West?" Sirius asked quickly.

"I'm not going to tell you lot who I am hiding from, as to why I look so much like James, it is just a coincidence. I was afraid when I saw Ginny here because I know that her six, protective older brothers are going to blame her following me her on me. Now I think those are all of the questions you need to ask me for today." Harry said, ready to start the class. "Today we will be practicing the Patrons charm. Can any one here perform one?"

Not one hand went up. Harry tried to ignore Ginny as she jumped up and down with her hand in the air. Finally giving up he turned to her.

"Would you like to perform the spell, Miss. West?" he asked.

"I would love to." With that, Ginny 'accidentally' said the wrong words, and set Harry's desk on fire.

After calming down the laughing class, Harry turned to his burning desk. Ginny had somehow gotten a hold of a marshmallow and a roasting stick, and was toasting her treat above it.

'This is going to be a long year.' Harry thought.

A/n: I know I'm bad, I should have made this chapter longer, but I'm too tired. Enjoy.
